As set up it was mediocre, sort of like an average needle with a little added tail action and the extra benefit of veering quickly if you paused and twitched, but with the downside that it would porpoise if you twitched without first pausing to let its nose drop. Probably would work, particularly with a very slow retrieve. It gave me some other ideas though that I think may pay off big time.

Just a standard BM wadd weight scheme.....two belly weights behind the front hook. I cut the joint between them.
